Belongings (2016) constitutes an exploration of the framework of portraiture by presenting four figures paired with solitary objects. Serving as an extension of their character, these possessions occupy the same sized paper as their human counterpart, examining the duality inherent behind ownership and self definition. The diptychs stand at a monumental scale, speaking not only through their realistic presence, but through the negative space that surrounds them.
